[English]

Grace what have You done

Murdered for me on that cross

Accused in absence of wrong

My sin washed away in Your blood

Too much to make sense of it all

I know that Your love breaks my fall

The scandal of grace You died in my place

So my soul will live

Oh to be like You Give all I have just to know You

Jesus there's no-one beside You Forever the hope in my heart

Death where is your sting

Your power is as dead as my sin

The cross has taught me to live

And mercy my heart now to sing

The day and its troubles shall come

I know that Your strength is enough

The scandal of grace You died in my place

So my soul will live

Oh to be like You Give all I have just to know You

Jesus there's no-one beside You Forever the hope in my heart

Oh to be like You Give all I have just to know You

Jesus there's no-one beside You Forever the hope in my heart

Forever the hope in my heart

And it's all because of You Jesus

It's all because of You Jesus

It's all because of Your love That my soul will live

And it's all because of You Jesus

It's all because of You Jesus

It's all because of Your love That my soul will live

Oh to be like You Give all I have just to know You

Jesus there's no-one beside You

Forever the hope in my heart

Oh to be like You Give all I have just to know You

Jesus there's no-one beside You

Forever the hope in my heart

I'd be lost I'd be lost

I'd be lost without you

But now I'm found singing Your praise

I'd be lost I'd be lost

I'd be lost without you

Jesus

I'd be lost I'd be lost

I'd be lost without you

But now I'm found singing Your praise

I'd be lost I'd be lost

I'd be lost without you

Jesus

I'd be lost I'd be lost

I'd be lost without you

But now I'm found singing Your praise

I'd be lost I'd be lost

I'd be lost without you

Jesus
